was a great lap to be only 4 tenths of fastest and 1 tenth of eventual pole sitters Q2 time, caught me by surprise thats for sure, strange the way the car can sometimes shows flashes of good speed like earlier in season & pre-season, very odd car.

I expected, by now, for the usual bunch of Button bashers to be in full flood. But one thing comes to mind. This season, both the McLaren and Williams cars are dogs, both following seasons with good or excellent cars.

I hope he wins again but the odds are not good and unless Mclaren can come up with a competiti
